Due to the increasing amounts of spam, phishing and security risks on our servers, we will be enabling phpsuexec on all servers. Enabling this module allows each thread process to run under the ownership of that particular user and will help us remove spammers and abusers more effectively. It will also drastically improve security on the server. The enabling of phpsuexec should not cause any errors/issues, however we ask that you verify and ensure all your scripts are working correctly,as some scripts are prone to any configuration changes and have strict running requirements.


If you have a script that is not executing, please ensure the permission on the file is set to CHMOD 755. Scripts or folders that are chmodded to 777 will no longer work due to security risks involved with 777 settings. Setting 755 is equivalentto 777 in the new environment.


Also if you have any php directives defined in your .htaccess files, please remove those directives and add them in a php.ini file in the same directory. In most of the cases apache will show an Internal Server Error if you have any active php directive in your .htaccess file.
